Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of marine technology, and in particular to a rescue boat towing and transfer device. Background Technology
[0002] The repair of lifeboats is an integral part of shipbuilding and repair. This work requires multiple hoisting and relocation operations, each requiring the coordination of cranes, transport vehicles, and a large number of workers. This results in limited production efficiency, long processing times, and high costs. The bottom of a lifeboat is typically V-shaped or curved, making it difficult for a standard flatbed trailer to effectively fit and stably support it. This makes it prone to slipping, shifting, or even capsizing during transport, posing a safety risk. Furthermore, standard trailers lack the maneuverability to make small-radius turns, impacting operational efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rescue boat towing and transfer device that can flexibly turn and is suitable for transferring rescue boats of different sizes and shapes, thereby improving the stability and safety of the transfer.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a rescue boat towing and transfer device, including a frame, a bogie, and a connecting rod. Wheels are provided on both sides of the lower rear end of the bogie. The upper rear end of the bogie is rotatably connected to both ends of the front end of the frame. A connecting ring is provided at the front end of the bogie. One end of the connecting rod is detachably connected to the connecting ring via bolts, and the other end of the connecting rod is connected to a towing vehicle. Brackets for supporting the rescue boat are provided at both the front and rear ends of the frame. A V-shaped groove is formed in the middle of the bracket, and high-elasticity rubber parts are provided on both sides of the V-shaped groove. A storage hook for securing the connecting rod is provided on the frame.
[0005] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bracket includes support frames symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides. Each support frame includes a first support vertical rod, a second support vertical rod, a horizontal rod, and a diagonal brace. The height of the second support vertical rod is lower than the height of the first support vertical rod. The horizontal rod is connected to the top of the first support vertical rod. One end of the diagonal brace is connected to the top of the second support vertical rod, and the other end of the diagonal brace is connected to the horizontal rod. The high-elastic rubber component is disposed on the diagonal brace. The diagonal braces on the two sets of support frames form the V-shaped support groove.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a first reinforcing rod is provided between the first supporting vertical rods at both the front and rear ends.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a second reinforcing rod is provided between the two first reinforcing rods, the second reinforcing rod being located in the middle of the first reinforcing rod, and a reinforcing vertical rod is provided on the frame, the top of the reinforcing vertical rod being connected to the connection point between the first reinforcing rod and the second reinforcing rod.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a third reinforcing rod is provided between the second supporting vertical rods on the left and right sides.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the frame includes a rectangular outer frame, and an inner support frame in the shape of a rhombus is provided inside the rectangular outer frame.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bogie is triangular in shape.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the storage hooks are provided in at least two and are located on the front side of the vehicle frame.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the rescue boat towing and transfer device of this utility model has the following advantages: In this invention, the bogie is rotatably connected to the chassis, allowing the bogie to rotate horizontally relative to the chassis. The wheels connected to the bogie at the front end of the chassis can flexibly turn under the rotation of the bogie, enabling the entire transfer device to steer flexibly. The V-shaped support groove on the chassis can fit and stably support the bottom of the rescue boat, effectively preventing the boat from sliding and rolling laterally during transportation. The V-shaped support groove is suitable for transporting rescue boats of different sizes and shapes. The high-elasticity rubber parts on the V-shaped support groove can increase friction, prevent the rescue boat from sliding during transportation, and also buffer and absorb shocks, absorbing the impact of road bumps on the rescue boat to avoid shaking or tilting, improving stability and safety, while protecting the surface paint and structure of the rescue boat from hard scratches. Due to the long length of the rescue boat, if the tractor is directly connected to the bogie, the end of the rescue boat will press against the tractor, affecting the transfer effect. The detachable connecting rod can increase the length of the transfer device, facilitating transfer. Moreover, when not in use, the connecting rod can be removed and fixed on the storage hook, reducing the storage space occupied. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0015] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.
[0016] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "back", "top", "bottom", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a rescue boat towing and transfer device, comprising a frame 1, a bogie 2, and a connecting rod 3. Wheels 4 are provided on both sides of the lower rear end of the bogie 2. The upper rear end of the bogie 2 is rotatably connected to both ends of the front end of the frame 1. Wheels 4 are provided on both sides of the lower rear end of the frame 1. A connecting ring 21 is provided at the front end of the bogie 2. One end of the connecting rod 3 is detachably connected to the connecting ring 21 by bolts. The other end of the connecting rod 3 is connected to a towing vehicle. Brackets 5 for supporting the rescue boat are provided at both the front and rear ends of the frame 1. A V-shaped groove is formed in the middle of the bracket 5, and high-elastic rubber parts 6 are provided on both sides of the V-shaped groove. A storage hook 11 for securing the connecting rod 3 is provided on the frame 1.
[0018] In this invention, the bogie 2 is rotatably connected to the frame 1, allowing the bogie 2 to rotate horizontally relative to the frame 1. The wheel 4 connected to the bogie 2 at the front end of the frame 1 can flexibly turn under the rotation of the bogie 2, enabling the entire transfer device to steer flexibly. The V-shaped support groove on the frame 1 can fit and stably support the bottom of the rescue boat, effectively preventing the boat from sliding and rolling laterally during transportation. The V-shaped support groove is suitable for transporting rescue boats of different sizes and shapes. The high-elasticity rubber part 6 on the V-shaped support groove can increase friction, prevent the rescue boat from sliding during transportation, and also buffer and absorb shock, absorbing the impact of road bumps on the rescue boat to avoid shaking or tilting, improving stability and safety, while protecting the paint layer and structure of the rescue boat from hard scratches. Since the rescue boat is relatively long, if the tractor is directly connected to the bogie 2, the end of the rescue boat will press against the tractor and affect the transfer effect. The detachable connecting rod 3 can increase the length of the transfer device, making it convenient for transfer. Moreover, when not in use, the connecting rod 3 can be removed and fixed on the storage hook 11, reducing the storage space occupied.
[0019] For example, the bracket 5 includes support frames symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides. The support frame includes a first support vertical rod 51, a second support vertical rod 52, a horizontal rod 53, and a diagonal brace 54. The height of the second support vertical rod 52 is lower than the height of the first support vertical rod 51. The horizontal rod 53 is connected to the top of the first support vertical rod 51. One end of the diagonal brace 54 is connected to the top of the second support vertical rod 52, and the other end of the diagonal brace 54 is connected to the horizontal rod 53. The high-elastic rubber part 6 is disposed on the diagonal brace 54. The diagonal braces 54 on the two sets of support frames form the V-shaped support groove, which enhances the overall structure and improves the support stability.
[0020] For example, a first reinforcing rod 55 is provided between the first support vertical rods 51 at the front and rear ends to enhance longitudinal stiffness and overall stability, and prevent the front and rear support frames from undergoing relative deformation or twisting under load.
[0021] Furthermore, a second reinforcing rod 56 is provided between the two first reinforcing rods 55. The second reinforcing rod 56 is located in the middle of the first reinforcing rods 55. A reinforcing vertical rod 57 is provided on the frame 1. The top of the reinforcing vertical rod 57 is connected to the connection point between the first reinforcing rod 55 and the second reinforcing rod 56. This can effectively distribute and bear the weight of the bracket 5, the rescue boat, and various complex stresses during driving, thereby improving the overall rigidity and deformation resistance of the frame 1.
[0022] For example, a third reinforcing rod 58 is provided between the second supporting vertical rods 52 on the left and right sides to enhance the lateral stiffness and stability of the bottom of the bracket 5, prevent the second supporting vertical rods 52 on the left and right sides from expanding and deforming outward when bearing load, and ensure the stability of the shape of the bottom of the V-shaped bracket groove.
[0023] For example, the frame 1 includes a rectangular outer frame 12, and the rectangular outer frame 12 is provided with a diamond-shaped inner support frame 13 to ensure that the frame 1 has high structural strength and load-bearing capacity.
[0024] Preferably, the bogie 2 is triangular in shape to ensure that the bogie 2 maintains its shape stability when subjected to traction force, steering force and ground impact, and is not easily twisted or damaged.
[0025] Specifically, at least two storage hooks 11 are provided and located on the front side of the frame 1 to facilitate the storage of the connecting rod 3, thereby improving the convenience and reliability of use.
[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
